The problem I'm having is a delayed reboot when my machine is starting up. During the boot I get a quick flash of the dreaded blue screen of death, and then the system restarts. Upon loading up again I am given the choice to booting up in Normal mode, Safe Mode, and a couple other options. Often trying the Normal mode again is fine and I get into Windows no problem. Sometimes it does the blue screen again, and back to the boot options.

I've had this problem for a long time, usually it only occurs after I've formatted my system and reinstalled Windows. My copy of Windows is a special version I made myself using nLite Streamline so I could include SP2, but more importantly so I could include some Intel mobo drivers. The reason for this is my stupid Intel mobo came with a floppy disk with special drivers for use with SATA HDDs, which I have. Yet the mobo doesn't have IDE sockets, so when I first built this machine I was at odds to how I was meant to get this working (without going out and buying an external USB floppy disk drive - which I refused to do out of principal).

Anyways, I suspect this is coming back to haunt me, so to speak, and I would like to know if there is anything I can do about it. Hopefully without formatting again since I have JUST got everything back installed.

Non-tech related advice on how to get him the error code: Get your digital camera and record it as it boots and then watch it in slow motion on your computer. I completely understand not wanting to reformat; I will do almost anything to avoid it.

Oh also, in addition to the failed boot and blue screen error, I am getting frequent freezes. It happens in the middle of doing nothing and when I am doing stuff (playing games, listening to music, etc).
